One Heck Of A Finale! A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E21-22

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Two-part season finale time, everyone! Buckle in because I hear this show gets SUBSTANTIALLY worse next season! We lead off with the newly re-friended Xander and Cordelia (actually, given their history, this is the very first time they’ve ever been actually, purely friends), with Xander lamenting he is likely about to die. Buffy and Willow join up with him to … Continue reading One Heck Of A Finale! A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E21-22

Stew’s Reviews: Rurouni Kenshin

It’s tough having to separate an artist from his work. There are some things I enjoy—comics, movies, television shows, etc—where the product is truly amazing, but the people involved in its creation may run the gamut from politically unsavory to downright repugnantly criminal. Where do you draw the line? Is it not okay to support something you think is high quality because a member of … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Rurouni Kenshin

Stealing Jokes From 1999: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E1-2

Well, my Buffy The Vampire Slayer retrospective as a first time watcher seems to be going along pretty well. Why not start another show? My intention was originally to wait until I was done with Buffy before starting anything else, but then I realized two things: First, content is still king, and I am quickly about to hit my wall on pre-written material. And secondly, … Continue reading Stealing Jokes From 1999: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E1-2

More Bad “The Ascension” Jokes: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E19-20

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! EPISODE 19 We open with Faith and The Mayor, and the latter has given his new protege a gift: a very fancy dagger! He wants her to do him a favor and go to the airport to pick something up for him. She initially balks at such a menial chore, but he lambastes her for her insolence and calls … Continue reading More Bad “The Ascension” Jokes: A BTVS Retrospective, S3 E19-20

Stew’s Reviews: World War Wendigo

We’re still reviewing some of the books I picked up at the discount store that I mentioned last week. And since I wrote that article, I made a second trip out and picked up ANOTHER JSA trade that they had for sale, so I’m still stocking up on those. So since I have noticed the sale, I’ve picked up two JSA books and two X-Men … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: World War Wendigo

I Write A Haiku: A BTVS Retrospective, Season 3 Episode 18

FOR PREVIOUS BUFFY REVIEWS, CLICK HERE! Buffy is out hunting! One of my two favorite ways this show opens! She is battling two fleshy monsters who don’t have mouths. Hey, is this that silent episode I hear so much about?! Neat! She kills one, but the other gets away. The dead one bleeds white-out for some reason? It absorbs into Buffy’s skin and vanishes, which … Continue reading I Write A Haiku: A BTVS Retrospective, Season 3 Episode 18

Pop-Tart Quest: Apple Jacks

Oh no. Well; this brings back awful memories. Apple Jacks isn’t Pop-Tarts’ first foray into making cereal flavored Tarts. They previously tried this with Fruit Loops, and as you can see from the link I posted, those were ABOMINABLE. Just absolutely sickly sweet garbage people food. Right down there with Watermelon on the list of “I can’t even finish these” Tarts. It was a big … Continue reading Pop-Tart Quest: Apple Jacks

A PlayStation Commercial… Errrr, A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Retrospective, S3 E16-17

It feels weird starting off with even number episodes. Stupid Xander! This is all your fault, too. We start off with that Anyanka demon lady talking to her… boss, I guess? He is reprimanding her for losing her powers, and she asks for them back. He says no, which is just sensible. You can’t have your demon minions just losing their jewelry willy-nilly. She decides … Continue reading A PlayStation Commercial… Errrr, A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Retrospective, S3 E16-17

SummerSlam 2023 Review

Yes, it has been a while! Not since WrestleMania, actually, have I done a single Premium Live Event review. And that is unacceptable! But to my credit, I have not had much choice. Since ‘Mania, every WWE PLE has been on non-United States soil, and has therefore taken place early-to-mid afternoon on Saturdays. Combine that with the unfortunate coincidence of my wife booking us for … Continue reading SummerSlam 2023 Review

Bad Girls Bad Girls, Whatchya Gonna Do? A BTVS Retrospective: S3 E14-15

EPISODE 14 We start off hunting again! It’s Buffy and Faith out killing nondescript monsters and girl-talking. Faith is using Network TV Language to express shock that Buffy and Xander have never boned. Look, Faith, just because you have cripplingly bad taste in sexual partners, doesn’t mean… everyone in this… town… Okay, fair enough. You got me there, Faith. I, too, am shocked the writers … Continue reading Bad Girls Bad Girls, Whatchya Gonna Do? A BTVS Retrospective: S3 E14-15
